That's cool but will there be an official case for it? If I'm going to continue using the Pi5 as a desktop replacement (I use it when I want to avoid the mega fans on the gaming rig) it needs to be a DESKTOP mini computer.

I've already foregone third party SSD HATs because they didn't supply compatible cases yet (coming soon, summer 2024...) so what about a larger official case? There's no way I'm having a barebones no-case Pi5 on my desktop even if it comes with an nvme disk.

Currently I have a black USB SSD that goes great with the official black case using a black cable. Forget about the official cooler as that once again messes with using three case.

Give be a big boi Pi5 case with room for nvme HAT and official cooler and I'm happy. Until then it's just another assHAT.

Just buy a thin client or an n100 based mini PC. Wildly cheaper than an rpi.

Where's the fun in that? Also, I don't like x86 (and particularly Intel). The more demand for open source stuff, the faster the first fully open consumer computer will be available.

There are risc v SBCS in the rpi form factor if you really want to support open source.

Tape it to the back of the monitor?

Oof, I'd rather 3D print a VESA-mounted Pi5 maxi-case. And I'm too lazy to 3D print a VESA-mounted maxi-case. I have more money than spare time, I just want to buy a case that fits the product. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
